The argument was because they’ve converted the nonprofit to a for profit, which enriches the employees and investors and doesn’t serve the nonprofit or its mission, the nonprofit was only so in disguise and should be viewed as having been a for profit all along. So the donation should be viewed as an investment.
The first one was a tragic accident, but it is hard to blame it on the Russian defense.

The airplane entered heavy militarized Soviet airspace at a time of intense exercises that was known to be off limits by KAL, the soviets tried to contact and warn the airplane multiple times and intercepted it twice till the airplane was shoot down.

This also came in the context of US spy airplanes flying in the area having already poked and embarrassed Soviet air defense in the same weeks.

How are planes bound to Russia expected to avoid Russian airspace?
"properly" is the key word here. You've got to communicate what you want. Or at least communicate something like what your goal is from the diagram, why you want it, so the LLM knows the audience it's targeting.

Like imagine giving the same prompt (instruction, directive, task) to a human - you would in all likelihood get out a similar high level diagram because you've not provided even the slightest whiff of what you want to use the diagram for.

The blog's takeaway is essentially "LLM didn't read my mind so no good". They're tools to be used and you get out what you put in.
I took a different approach by just making an FPGA-based multi-core Z80 setup. One core is dedicated to running 'supervisor' CP/NET server, and all of the applications run on CP/NET clients and can run normal CP/M software. I built a 16-core version of this, and each CPU gets its own dedicated 'terminal' window, with all of the windowing handled by the display hardware (and ultimately controlled by the supervisor CPU). It's a fun 'what-if' architecture that works way better than one might expect in practice. It would have made an amazing mid-to-late 1980s machine.
Don't want to get to pedantic on that response.
The model can contain complex information.
There is already evidence it can form a model of the world.
So why not something like steps to get from A to B.

And, it is clear that LLMs can follow steps.
One didn't place in the Math Olympiad without some ability to follow steps.

https://research.google/blog/teaching-language-models-to-rea...

And, Anyway, when I asked it, it said it could

"Yes, an LLM model can contain the steps of an algorithm, especially when prompted to "think step-by-step" or use a "chain-of-thought" approach, which allows it to break down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable steps and generate a solution by outlining each stage of the process in a logical sequence; essentially mimicking how a human would approach an algorithm.

> While it's tangentially related, my point is not for/against physicalism.

I really disagree. Your entire point is about physicalism. If physicalism is true than an AI does not necessarily learn in a better fashion what a hot shower feels like by being embodied. In a physicalist world it is conceivable to experience that synthetically.
Yeah, you're missing the point of why attestation is in the spec in the first place.

Cell phones were definitely a net loss for society, so I hope you're wrong.
I was about to debate the “drum of oil” quip, but thinking about it: the o1 model can cost tens of dollars for a long back-and-forth conversation.

A barrel of oil is currently $70, so if you’ve spent more than that on your chat, you’ve gone through an “energy slave for a year” in a matter of minutes! (A barrel of oil contains the same energy as the work done by a human labourer over a year.)

Note: You might argue that most of the cost is due to the rental on the chips and not the electrical bill. Sure, but a silicon chip has a minuscule material cost and is mostly expensive because of the energy-intensive processes required to make it.
Hopefully you'll get an answer from Conrad, but the landing page does not mention the shutdown, so I would point out when I was comparison shopping something else recently, their website had dedicated pages to why you should choose them over each major competitor, and a switching discount is also not uncommon.

It's entirely possible this landing page is Kick's competitive offer, and Bench linked to it because it offers all the people they just screwed over by collapsing a discount.
Seems like my experience may not have been typical. I used Bench from 19-23 for a startup and always felt like I was getting great service. I agree that they were a bit expensive, but the financials passed external reviews and always made my investors happy.

It is a shame to see them closing down this way, awful timing and awful treatment of their customers. As a founder, you need to fully understand your financials, but you should have a pro managing the day-to-day and even month-to-month.

I found their API quite expensive, I wonder how you go about it.
All a matter of perspective. Those "engineering failures" were in fact a case of criminal negligence which, by the way, none of the actually responsible people has gone to jail for. As for "firing missiles at civilians", this latest incident reportedly happened to a rerouted plane, in airspace that was being actively contested by enemy drones at that time. Not saying that this isn't a tragedy, or that the Russian military is not to blame, but there are also lots of blanket allegations and generalizations thrown around in this thread, that just seem out of place in a supposedly discerning and intelligent community.
The "Please note that the CCC e.V. is not formally recognised as a non-profit organisation" part is a bad translation - this one is related to the German tax code.

To put it short: there are two different kinds of NPOs, first "regular" e.V. and then those e.V. that fulfill exclusively "aims for the common good" ("gemeinnützige Zwecke", the full list is in §52 AO [1]) - they carry a special benefit: donations can be deducted from your income for tax purposes.

The CCC is a non-profit organization, but since it (among other things) engages in taking political stances while at the same time not being a political party, it is not seen as a "gemeinnützig" organization - a fate that hit quite a few organizations in the last years [2] or is looming over their head [3].

also, OP's experience also may be affected by the location/field/clique of people who are around you. For example - say, the fashion creative world in LA and NYC w/ value based on exclusivity - people actually ARE opposed to befriending/hanging out with you. Also apparently the entertainment world, if all social connections are managed by PR as seen by the recent Baldoni/Lively broughaha and the respective millions being spent associated firms.

Ask HN: Effective ways to block short-form content?
When TikTok first came out, I tried it and unambiguously thought "I am too old for this, this is not good for me, I don't like this"

Fast forward to today and Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram have all effectively become TikTok. If I have some downtime to watch a youtube video or check what my friends are up to on instagram, I inevitably get sucked into forever-scrolling short-form video content.

I realize there is a will-power component to this, but I'm losing the war. I don't want to give up Youtube completely just to avoid the scrolling.

I have tried a few Chrome extensions but have not found any that reliably work. I also use an iPhone.

Looking for tools or tips/tricks to avoid the rabbit hole.
This seems AI-generated. Both the project itself and the HN intro sound fishy.

It seems to be a UI for creating symlinks on Windows?

I'm not clear on what problem that solves. What's a situation where you need to move a file that another program depends on for the sake of organization? I can imagine organizing my photos or music, but this makes it sound like I'm going to organize random DLLs in system32.

One of the advertised features is " Error Prevention: Smart validation and error handling." I checked the wiki for more information, and found this:

>Error Prevention

>Validates operations before execution

>Checks for:

>Write permissions

>Disk space

>Existing files

>Valid paths

That seems highly AI-generated. If not, it sounds like it's needlessly reimplementing a lot of what the OS already does automatically.
While it crashed near an airport it doesn’t seem like the aircraft was targeted at low altitude and low speeds.
I've looked up what the hell is a manila folder, and it turned out to be a paper folder looking exactly like a Windows folder icon, even with a matching yellowish colour. Maybe I grew up and lived in all the wrong countries, but I've never seen such a folder in my life.

This is not hard. App login sets up a session with VW (which is surely already does), except the session needs a database entry and not just a JWT-like token. (Many auth frameworks do this anyway.) The database row needs to add a public key, and the server needs to send all the key changes to the car. And that’s about it.
Think of the turtle.
> But you’ll need to trust something somewhere, and you might even need to expose it to a network in some cases.

Again, no, I don't, and you still haven't explained why. Unless you mean that the big tech companies will force me to use a sync service whether I want it or not.

Moreover, you've ignored my point about paid subscriptions.
It doesn’t appear that the aircraft was attacked on final approach. Instead flying much higher and faster than prop drones.
The damage on the fuselage seems very similar to MH17.

My understanding is that these kind of missiles explode near the aircraft, sending hundreds of small metal balls in all directions which eventually hit critical parts of the aircraft.

Also, considering how quickly Russians tried to say it wasn't them is generally a good indicator of them being involved.
Jesus can you relax? Sometimes statements aren't meant to be taken exactly literally. I don't mean to be hateful but what do you get out of being needlessly pedantic? Obviously there's more time actually spent on modern airliners. OP is using it as an analogy to show that it's a complicated process, and isn't saying that it's scientifically 1 to 1 exact.

It's this type of comment that makes people be needlessly careful on this site more than any other. When you know there is someone just waiting to correct you when you use a simple turn of phrase.
Passkey is just a fancy brand/marketing name for a specific mode of webauthn (resident).

Saying that "WebAuthn was much more public, but passkey was not." shows that you don't really have a clear and accurate mental model of what passkeys are. Maybe TFA might help?
Tossing a battery-powered radio in a gallon ziplock into the woods outside the chainlink for the base also works, and would have more loitering capability than a drone.
Sure, but it needs an extra digit or two do do as well as the Gregorian calendar. Doable, but longer records are needed.
There are a number (or just one? Mullvad) of commercial VPN providers that provide an optional PQC layer, and that fact is referenced on this project's page.

There is also VPN software that incorporates PQC (also referenced): <https://rosenpass.eu>

What this project attempts to do is to establish a transparent PQC stream between client and server.

I'm not sure I like the way they are doing this, with a lot of magic (PQConnect inserts itself into the network stack to inspect incoming DNS responses) and with Python of all things.[1][2][3]

I think the best way to do this is to graft it on top of QUIC and not mess with linux network plumbing. Perhaps integrate it with something like <https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh>

On one hand i see SQL-in-yaml and instantly nope outta here.

I think Atlas might have the right idea but I'm hesitant to lock my company into commercial tooling. Sqlmesh may also kind of do what's needed, but its focus is more on transforming tables of data, managing your ddl happens as a happy accident along the way.
Maybe some of us aren’t actually impressed with the “progress” since 2022? Doing well at random benchmarks hasn’t noticeably improved capability in use for work.

Just like the rest of the drivers out there you mean. Just think logically for a second.

New Creature of Embodied AI – Unitree Go2
I don't know how to code in any meaningful way. I work at a company where the bureaucracy is so thick that it is easier to use a web scraper to port a client's website blog than to just move the files over. GPT 4 couldn't write me a working scraper to do what I needed. o1 did it with minimal prodding. It then suggested and wrote me a ffmpeg front-end to handle certain repetitive tasks with client videos, again, with no problem. Gpt4 would often miss the mark and then write bad code when presented with such challenges

Did this study identify who had the APOE4 gene?

Another study https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-023-01627-6 suggests the APOE4 gene may be preventing immune cells in the brain from switching to the defensive "clean" mode.

I know my mother's hippocampus was smaller than something like 94% of people her age when she was diagnosed 11 years ago.

First signs of AD generally show up in the hippocampus.

Maybe with heavy spatial reasoning activity in that region, the AD mechanism is stunted or interfered with.

I would be curious to know what activities outside of vehicle navigation stimulate the hippocampus equally. I still play a lot of 3D video games.

Let me assure you that you haven't discovered something hundreds of years of legal scholars didn't yet realize. You are simply mistaken as to how that clause is interpreted within the context of the rest of the document ... part of which outlines the division of roles and responsibilities for judging and executing that clause.

All of that aside, "science and useful arts" never referred to the little guys. This always referred to the interests of commercializing those endeavors.

For others reading along, one huge difference is that bookkeeping tends to be vastly cheaper per hour. It would get very expensive to pay a CPA to transcribe your credit card statement into Quickbooks (or previously Bench, or whatever else you're using for your ledgers).

Bookkeeping is sufficiently complex that I'd personally rather pay someone to do a good job of than muddle through on my own, but it's not rocket science. Perhaps most importantly, they understand accounting jargon. When my CPA asks me to send over the Fnord-Smootson report, and that's not the exact name of a report in my bookkeeping software, I have no freaking idea how to get that to him. A competent bookkeeper asks whether he needs that report frobnicated by date or by time-value and they work out the details.

A good CPA makes rocket science look easy. You typically pay them crazy amounts per hour, but for only a few hours a year. They take those bookkeeping journals and explain your situation to the IRS in a way favorable to your interests.

You want a good bookkeeper and you want a good CPA. If you can get both of those under the same roof, freaking awesome! Your life just got easier and more profitable.

Dashboards, like any reductive representation of reality, are inherently limited. They highlight certain aspects while obscuring others, capturing specific data points while ignoring others. This is similar to how a map simplifies a territory or an image represents, but is not, the actual object (like in Magritte's famous painting "The Treachery of Images").

The problem is that dashboards are static snapshots of a dynamic reality. They are built on past understanding, and as systems evolve, they can become outdated and misleading. This can happen in several ways, two common ones are:

- Data drift: The underlying meaning of the data changes. For example, a bug might cause app crashes to be misreported, rendering crash-related metrics unreliable.

- Blind spots: Dashboards can't capture what they're not designed to measure. If user needs shift, a dashboard focused on existing feature usage won't reveal those changes.

This limitation isn't unique to dashboards. Any projection from a higher-dimensional space (reality) to a lower-dimensional representation (dashboard) will inevitably lose information. The problem is exacerbated when the representation doesn't adapt to the changing reality.
I was a professor. I would have given you a zero.

From the instructor's perspective, it sounds like you didn't even try to do the intentional assignment (which the fault/crashdump/find info in the crashdump was the most important part), and either did your own thing or sent in someone else's assignment because you didn't look closely enough at what it was. Yes, this is a big accusation, but it happens every semester.

The professor just wanted you to learn what you were supposed to from the assignment, so that you could build off it.

Your cynical take on it now shows that you still don't understand how to teach or the importance of that fundamental skill.

Is there a place for fun, exploratory projects? Of course, and I always incorporated them into my syllabus. But there's also a place for structure. If you want to explore along the way, then that is even better! But you still have to meet the incremental checkpoints along the way, otherwise you have not demonstrated that you have met the core competencies of the subject, as reflected by your grade.

There's a lot of shortcomings in modern university education, but I loved teaching, and would still be doing it today if it paid reasonably. My biggest headaches were the cheaters and the know-it-alls, mostly because neither of them knew enough to respect the subject matter and its importance. The students that made me the most proud, though, were those that trusted the roadmap, and in the end were able to do bigger and better things than they thought that they were capable of.

It's not about extra work. We did plenty of it, btw. We just didn't always tell you about it. The University system referrs to it as "service", and you, the student, are the beneficiary of it, either directly or indirectly.

"Teachers don't want extra work." I'm sorry, but this sounds like a toddler stomping their foot and saying "Mommy and Daddy don't love me because they went to work today instead of staying home to play with me."

I'm glad that you wrote the RPN calculator. That's cool! I'm disappointed that you use this as an opportunity to bash the educator who agreed to take a low salary so that they could help you learn important things that are fundamental to your craft and chosen field of study.
